IMarEST appoints new director of Asia-Pacific office

The Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology (IMarEST) has strengthened its expansion in the Asia-Pacific region by appointing David Kelly, currently Head of Marketing at IMarEST’s London headquarters, as Director of Asia-Pacific office.

Kelly will take up his new position, created to drive growth and awareness of the Institute in the region, in August.

He joined the IMarEST in 2012, and has since lead the development and execution of a marketing strategy which has fortified the Institute and supported rapid growth over the past three years, IMarEST’s press release reads.

Commenting on his new role, David Kelly, said: “There are huge opportunities for the marine sector across the Asia-Pacific region and I am thrilled to be able to support the growth of the Institute’s reach at such an exciting time. I am very much looking forward to working with the executive team and members across the region to increase our activity in this part of the world, with respect to events, conferences, training, Special Interest Groups, local branches and our technical output.”

IMarEST has registered charity status and represents the institution that brings together marine engineers, scientists and technologists into one international multi-disciplinary professional body.
